A little over a week ago, I announced that I was stepping away from the WordPress® community and giving away all of my open source plugins.
It wasn’t a light decision, but it was the right one for me.
Today, I want to share an update: WebDevStudios has officially adopted 20 of my plugins 🔥
Big thanks to Mitch Canter for reaching out and making it happen – and to Brad Williams for backing the move 🫶
It means a lot to know there are still people in the WordPress® space who see the value in these tools and believe they’re worth keeping alive.
To me, this doesn’t just extend the life of the code – it validates the work that went into it.
I’ve always built with positive intention, and seeing these plugins get picked up by a respected team like WebDevStudios is proof that the work holds up.
That matters 💪💯
This is also a reminder (to myself and maybe others) that even if you walk away from a space, your work can still make an impact.
These plugins will live on, evolve, and help people – just as they were meant to.
Here are the plugins WebDevStudios now maintains:
- Slop Stopper
- Bluesky Feed for WordPress®
- Pattern Pal
- A11Y Testimonial block
- IMG A11Y
- Associated Taxonomies
- Broken Image Scanner
- Module Usage Finder for Divi
- Block Usage Tracker
- Widget Usage Tracker for Elementor
- Sort Media by File Size
- Link Attributes for Publishers
- BenchPress
- Site Vitals for WordPress
- Media File Versioning
- Delete Inactive Users
- Content Restriction for WordPress
- DB Version Control
- DocuPress
- Persistent Dismissible Notices
I may be stepping away from the WordPress® community, but I’m not stepping away from what matters – building tools that solve real problems, writing clean code, and pushing the web forward on my own terms.
These plugins weren’t just fun side quests.
They were solid solutions, written from experience, shipped to help others move faster, cleaner, and more securely.
The fact that a team like a team that’s heavily invested in WordPress® like WebDevStudios chose to adopt them says something – not just about the plugins, but about the standard I’ve always held myself to.
So while my chapter in the WordPress® ecosystem is closing, the work lives on.
And that’s more than enough.
If you’ve ever used one of these plugins, contributed, sent feedback, or just paid attention – thank you 🙏
More great products are coming, just not where you used to expect them.
Forever forward 💪💯
